Why It Matters

CVE-2025-11791 affects Acronis Cyber Protect backup solutions, allowing attackers to access sensitive information and potentially manipulate protected data due to inadequate authorization checks. Organizations using affected versions face data exposure risks that could compromise backup integrity and customer trust.

Business Impact: High

Compensating Controls

Until patches are available: (1) Implement network segmentation to restrict Acronis agent communication to trusted internal networks only; (2) Enable multi-factor authentication for all Acronis administrative accounts; (3) Deploy enhanced monitoring and alerting on backup system access and data retrieval activities; (4) Restrict API access through IP whitelisting and credential rotation; (5) Disable non-essential features if possible; (6) Consider temporarily restricting access to critical backup data pending patch availability.

Attack Technique

Authentication Bypass CRITICAL

Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.

Information Disclosure MEDIUM

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
